Variable Interest Entities | NOTE 18. Variable Interest Entities Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities At June 30, 2015, the Company had investments in: (i) three unconsolidated VIE joint ventures; (ii) 48 properties leased to VIE tenants; (iii) a loan to a VIE borrower; and (iv) marketable debt securities of two VIE borrowers. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company does not consolidate these VIEs because it does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. Except for the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated joint ventures (CCRC OpCo, HCP Ventures IV and Vintage Park discussed below), the Company has no formal involvement in these VIEs beyond its investments. The Company holds a 49% ownership interest in CCRC OpCo, a joint venture entity formed in August 2014 that operates senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure, that has been identified as a VIE (see Notes 3 and 8). The equity members of CCRC OpCo “lack power” because they share certain operating rights with Brookdale as manager of the CCRCs. The assets of CCRC OpCo primarily consist of the CCRCs that it owns and leases, resident fees receivable, notes receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of operating lease obligations and accounts payable and expense accruals associated with the cost of its CCRCs’ operations. Assets generated by the CCRC operations (primarily rents from CCRC residents) of CCRC OpCo may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities). In the first quarter of 2015, upon the occurrence of a reconsideration event, it was determined that HCP Ventures IV is a VIE because this entity is “thinly capitalized.” The assets of HCP Ventures IV primarily consist of MOBs and hospitals that it owns and leases, intangible assets, straight-line rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of mortgage debt, member loans, intangible liabilities, deferred revenue, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities associated with the cost of its rental properties. Assets generated by the operations (primarily rental revenues) of HCP Ventures IV may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily operating expenses). The Company holds an 85% ownership interest in Vintage Park (see Note 8) that has been identified as a VIE. Although power is shared among equity members, one equity member does not have a substantive investment in the entity. The assets of Vintage Park primarily consist of an independent living facility development in progress that it owns and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of accounts payable and expense accruals associated with the cost of the development obligations. Assets generated by Vintage Park may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily development expenses and debt service payments). The Company leases 48 properties to a total of seven tenants that have been identified as VIEs (“VIE tenants”) because these VIE tenants are “thinly capitalized” entities that rely on the operating cash flows generated from the senior housing facilities to pay operating expenses, including the rent obligations under their leases. The Company holds an interest-only, senior secured term loan made to a borrower (Delphis Operations, L.P.) that has been identified as a VIE because it is a “thinly capitalized” entity (see Note 7). The loan is collateralized by all of the assets of the borrower (comprised primarily of a partnership interest in an operating surgical facility that leases a property owned by the Company). The Company holds Four Seasons Notes (see Note 10). In the second quarter of 2015, upon the occurrence of a reconsideration event, it was determined that the issuer of the Four Seasons Notes is a VIE because this entity is “thinly capitalized” (see Note 15). The Company holds commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie MAC”) through a special purpose entity that has been identified as a VIE. The CMBS issued by the VIE are backed by mortgage obligations on senior housing facilities. The classification of the related assets and liabilities and their maximum loss exposure as a result of the Company’s involvement with these VIEs at June 30, 2015 are presented below (in thousands):
|  | Maximum Loss |  |  |  | Carrying |
VIE Type |  | Exposure(1) |  | Asset/Liability Type |  | Amount |
VIE tenants—DFLs |  | $ | 598,823 |  | Net investment in DFLs |  | $ | 598,823 |
VIE tenants—operating leases |  |  | 11,820 |  | Lease intangibles, net and straight-line rent receivables |  |  | 11,820 |
Four Seasons Notes |  |  | 175,391 |  | Marketable debt securities |  |  | 175,391 |
CCRC OpCo |  |  | 241,607 |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  |  | 241,607 |
HCP Ventures IV |  |  | 156,932 |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  |  | 43,941 |
Vintage Park |  |  | 4,737 |  | Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures |  |  | 4,737 |
Loan—senior secured |  |  | 16,987 |  | Loans receivable, net |  |  | 16,987 |
CMBS |  |  | 17,649 |  | Marketable debt securities |  |  | 17,649 |
| (1) |  | The Company’s maximum loss exposure related to CCRC OpCo, Vintage Park, VIE tenants, and loans and marketable debt securities to VIE borrowers represents the aggregate carrying amount of such investments (including accrued interest). The Company’s maximum loss exposure related to HCP Ventures IV represents the aggregate carrying amount of its investment plus commitments under its support arrangement, which may be mitigated by the refinancing of HCP Ventures IV’s Contractual Obligations which it expects to occur as such debt becomes due in late 2015 and early 2016 (see Note 12).
With the exception of HCP Ventures IV, as of June 30, 2015, the Company has not provided, and is not required to provide, financial support through a liquidity arrangement or otherwise, to its unconsolidated VIEs, including circumstances in which it could be exposed to further losses (e.g., cash shortfalls). At June 30, 2015, the Company has funded a loan of $19 million to HCP Ventures IV. HCP Ventures IV has $107 million of Contractual Obligations coming due through February 2016. The Company has committed to provide the necessary level of financial support, in the form of a shortfall loan, to HCP Ventures IV in the event the joint venture is (i) unable to refinance its Contractual Obligations with third party lenders or (ii) the equity members do not jointly agree to make additional capital contributions to repay its Contractual Obligations. See Notes 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 for additional descriptions of the nature, purpose and operating activities of the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs and interests therein. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities RIDEA I. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in a joint venture entity formed in September 2011 that operates senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA I OpCo”). The Company consolidates RIDEA I OpCo as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The assets of RIDEA I OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses). Assets generated by the senior housing operations (primarily from senior housing resident rents) of RIDEA I OpCo may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities). RIDEA II. The Company holds an 80% ownership interest in joint venture entities formed in August 2014 that own and operate senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA II”). The Company consolidates RIDEA II (“SH PropCo” and “SH OpCo”) as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance. The assets of SH PropCo primarily consist of leased properties (net real estate), rents receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of a note payable to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The assets of SH OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to SH PropCo and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses). Assets generated by the senior housing operations (primarily from senior housing resident rents) of the RIDEA II structure may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities). RIDEA III. The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in a joint venture entity formed in June 2015 that operates senior housing properties in a RIDEA structure (“RIDEA III OpCo”). The Company consolidates RIDEA III OpCo as the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The assets of RIDEA III OpCo primarily consist of leasehold interests in senior housing facilities (operating leases), resident fees receivable, and cash and cash equivalents; its obligations primarily consist of lease payments to a non-VIE consolidated subsidiary of the Company and operating expenses of its senior housing facilities (accounts payable and accrued expenses). Assets generated by the senior housing operations (primarily from senior housing resident rents) of RIDEA III OpCo may only be used to settle its contractual obligations (primarily from the rental costs and operating expenses incurred to manage such facilities). Other consolidated VIEs. The Company made a loan to an entity that entered into a tax credit structure (“Tax Credit Subsidiary”) and a loan to an entity that made an investment in a development joint venture (“Development JV”) both of which are considered VIEs. The Company consolidates the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV because it is the primary beneficiary as it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance. The assets and liabilities of the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV substantially consist of development in progress, notes receivable, prepaid expenses, notes payable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities generated from their operating activities. Assets generated by the operating activities of the Tax Credit Subsidiary and Development JV may only be used to settle their contractual obligations.
